Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment. Performed using a handheld pen-shaped device with tiny needles that make precise, microscopic punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” work by stimulating the skin to repair itself naturally through a process called dermal remodelling.

This treatment is excellent in diminishing the appearance of acne scarring, surgical scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, stretch marks and skin texture. Microneedling is safe to do on all skin types and ages. This treatment does not deliver heat to the skin like lasers do. As a result, people who have melasma and hyperpigmentation can undergo microneedling without the risk of worsening pigmentation problems.
